What is another word for heuristics?
Pronunciation: [hjuːɹˈɪstɪks] (IPA) 
Heuristics is a term that refers to problem-solving techniques that find solutions that are not guaranteed to be optimal, but are 'good enough' for the given context. Some common synonyms for heuristics include 'rule of thumb', 'experience-based techniques', and 'intuitive tactics'. Other related terms include 'trial and error', 'educated guesses', 'common sense', 'approximate solutions', 'ad hoc methods', and 'imperfect solutions'. These techniques are often used in decision-making processes, problem-solving exercises, and artificial intelligence systems to help make decisions faster and with less processing power. Heuristics can also be used in problem-solving exercises to help identify potential solutions and eliminate less promising options, leading to more effective decision-making.
